Pulled and disassembled both engines. 1526 hours. Had the boat for two seasons. Port engine a little on the weak side. Port burned 12% more fuel during a 841 gal summer vacation trip- best trip ever. Both had blow by.
Sbd engine original bearing and timing chain. Main and rod bearing -great. Chain was shot, valves had wear. Walls look great , no taper.
Port engine had main bearing dated 99. Had a single roller TC. Valves were worn. 6 out of 8 pistons had the compression ring gaps stacked- lined up. Cylinder walls measure out- no taper.
Doing new valve springs. Cams spec out.
33gph @ 21kts 3200. Props were tuned in 2016.
My question - has anyone run a different cam for this size of boat?
Looking for low end torque.
